Peter and Paul

Simon the fisherman (0-64) was called by Jesus to be a disciple together with his brother Andrew. Jesus referred to him as the "rock" (Greek: pétros) on which he wanted to build his church (Matthew 16: 16-19). Peter later travelled to Rome and worked there as the leader of the church. Paul (0 to 64) - then still Saul - was the son of wealthy Jewish parents from Tarsus in Asia Minor with Roman citizenship. His zeal for the faith meant that he had to persecute the emerging Christian church, which he considered to be a Jewish sect that deviated from the law. The Bible tells us that he guarded the clothes of the stoners at the stoning of Stephen in 35/36.

If I were to rate websites, you would deserve the highest rating. It is rare to come across websites that provide such a large amount of data and are still so intuitive to use. Respect for the lovingly researched and informatively prepared encyclopedia. Keep it up!
